Mortise and Tenon
Do you use Mortise and Tenon joinery for doors?
Traditional Structural Joinery
Yes. For traditional wood doors, the horizontal rail (tenon) fits into a carved hole (mortise) in the vertical stile. This creates a massive glue surface and mechanical bond that prevents door sagging over decades.
A classic, high-strength joint where a protruding tenon fits into a recessed mortise for maximum durability.
